Are you stuck on ideas of what to get your friends and family for their birthday, anniversary, or just because. Tired of the same old sweater or pair of earrings. Then I have just the thing for you. Hand crafted scarves, hats, sweaters...You name it, they knit it! Check it out today. These same ladies are even teaching ME how to knit. Who would have thought!
The following is a message from one of my fellow Peace Corps Volunteers and site mate:
For the past year I’ve been working with a group of disabled women living in the Home for the Handicapped in Stara Zagora (a city in central Bulgaria). The women are craft knitters and, as a part of a SPA Project (SPA = Small Project Assistance; this is a grant through the Peace Corps), we have created a web site to sell their products online.
Each woman’s short biography is posted along with our catalog of offered products. Our intent is to personalize the buying experience as much as possible. Upon receipt of an order, the customer will receive a confirmation letter (email) telling them which woman will knit their product and when it will be shipped. The customer can ask for modifications to the product and can correspond with the knitter by email. We accept all major credit cards.
Shipping to America is FREE via BulPost and we have an overnight service available, at the customer’s expense, with lower rates than DHL, UPS or FedEx.
Our web address is:
